Universal Pictures and Legendary Pictures have just unveiled eight character posters for “Warcraft: The Beginning,” the epic adventure of world-colliding conflict based on Blizzard Entertainment’s global phenomenon.
Getting individual one-sheets are Lothar, The War Hero; Durotan, Noble Orc Chief; Blackhand, The Destroyer; Orgrim, The Fighter; Garona, The Unbroken Survivor; Gul’dan, The Invader; King Llane, The Warrior King and Lady Taria, The Queen of Hope.
The studio has also announced a new and earlier release date in the Philippines – “Wacraft” will now launch on May 25 (from the previously announced June bow.)
In “Warcraft: The Beginning,” the peaceful realm of Azeroth stands on the brink of war as its civilization faces a fearsome race of invaders: Orc warriors fleeing their dying home to colonize another. As a portal opens to connect the two worlds, one army faces destruction and the other faces extinction. From opposing sides, two heroes are set on a collision course that will decide the fate of their family, their people and their home.
So begins a spectacular saga of power and sacrifice in which war has many faces, and everyone fights for something.
Directed by Duncan Jones (“Moon,” “Source Code”) and written by Charles Leavitt and Jones, the film stars Travis Fimmel, Paula Patton, Ben Foster, Dominic Cooper, Toby Kebbell, Ben Schnetzer, Rob Kazinsky and Daniel Wu.
Opening across the Philippines in May 25, 2016, “Warcraft: The Beginning” will be distributed by United International Pictures through Columbia Pictures.
